• Find groups: Lists all groups in the system that you can view and allows you to join or request membership in them if groups allow that.

• My friends: Displays your friends and gives you easy access to their profile pages.

• Find friends: Search for users in Mahara that you may wish to add to your friends list.

• Shared pages: Lists the pages that you have permission to view.
